Beach Business Ready to Debut New Restaurant

Good morning, Hampton and North Hampton. Here are five things you need to know for Wednesday, April 3:

1. Big Changes Coming: The Sea Ketch is just about ready to unveil its drastic changes — both in terms of appearance and overall business model — on Friday, April 5, when it opens for the season.

In addition to a fully-remodeled Hampton Beach cafe featuring a new stairless design and a 600-gallon coral fish tank, the business' new Sea Ketch Place, a street-level coffee, sandwich, fried dough and ice cream shop, will debut on Friday.

Learn more about the changes on the Sea Ketch's Facebook page.

2. Today’s Featured Fun: North Hampton School fourth grade students have a field trip today. Have fun, and be sure to e-mail photos to Kyle.Stucker@Patch.com!

3. This Day in History: The rise of the action-adventure blockbuster was on the horizon, but on this night in 1978, the small-scale romantic comedy triumphed over the big-budget space extravaganza.

At the 50th annual Academy Awards on this day in 1978, held at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, Woody Allen’s "Annie Hall" won the Oscar for Best Picture, beating out George Lucas’ "Star Wars."

4. Today's Forecast:
